Russian drone attack
The humanitarian ceasefire, declared by Vladimir Putin from May 8, ended at midnight on May 11.
Immediately after, Russians launched attack drones on Ukraine from multiple directions.
The day before, the US and the EU called on the Kremlin to declare a 30-day ceasefire in the war starting from May 12. In case of refusal, Russia was warned of new severe sanctions.
However, Moscow rejected this proposal. Instead, Putin expressed readiness to resume peace talks with Ukraine in Istanbul without any conditions.
